The human passage might be compared to a moving sidewalk that is carrying man to his ultimate destiny. The choice is either to tune-in and go with this movement or to spend our lives going against it. Either way we cannot get off or stop the movement, because the passage takes its own course and will be completed whether we wish to go with it or not. Thus the quality of life is our choice, but not life itself. The will as it exists primarily for itself is the ego, and though it is the immature feeling self, it is not the true feeling self. The ego suffers and becomes anxious or has a tantrum when it does not get what it wants, whereas the true self, as the simple quiet experience of being, is a joy. Having attained everything in its deepest divine center, it wants for nothing. Thus being is the will prior to its movement in any direction, a will that finds no lasting peace until it rests in its divine center. The point to keep in mind is that the will or feeling self is not a thinking or intellectual faculty, but instead is the experience of feeling being or feeling life. Without a thorough account of the will, no description of consciousness or self can be complete. This feeling self together with the knowing self IS the whole of consciousness and each ones experience of personal selfhood and existence. Man has no greater certitude than this-that he exists.~~bernadette
